Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
(1962 - 1965)
Car articles about Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider by year
Sports cars and mass-produced vehicles are at the top of the classic car hit parade in Switzerland. What they have in common is driving pleasure and individual looks. Led by the Volkswagen Beetle, this article briefly describes and shows pictures of the ten most popular classic classic cars in Switzerland.
Alfa Romeo built the Giulietta/Giulia Spider for over ten years. Customers loved the compact sports car and used it in everyday life and even in motorsport. Of the 27,500 convertibles once built, only a small number remain and have therefore become expensive. Behind the wheel, you can immediately sense why the Giulia Spider was and is so popular. This driving report portrays an early Spider of the last generation and tells the story of this special Italian sports car.
The new star from Italy was a lowlifter, a real 'rocket' in the simple guise of the normal consumer, Hanno Parsifal began his early test of the Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 TI in 1962, published in the magazine 'hobby'. Although he did not consider it to be beautiful, Parsifal found a lot to like about the fast saloon, which ultimately outperformed even well-known sports cars. The few weaknesses that were mentioned were then consistently corrected by Alfa in the following years. This article reproduces the test report from that time in words, carefully restored and edited. And shows the sporty saloon on archive material, some of which has never been shown before.
At the end of 1962, the magazine 'hobby' carried out a major comparative test with eleven saloons from Germany, France, England and Italy. In a tough competition, hot-blooded family sports cars had to be compared with utility saloons designed for comfort. The fact that a German representative won was not a matter of course, as places 2 to 4 went to "foreign countries". This article reproduces the original wording of the report at the time and shows all eleven sedans compared in many archive photos.
Between 1963 and 1967, the collaboration between Alfa Romeo, Auto Delta and Zagato produced a good 120 examples of the Giulia TZ in two series (TZ1, TZ2). They were almost uncompromising racing cars and were responsible for many class and overall victories. They were characterized by their low weight and exceptionally streamlined bodywork. This report traces the history of the Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ, portrays an original vehicle in detail and shows many archive photos.
This is a story you don't hear every day! Romeo Gross is a photographer and his great love is for the Alfa Romeo brand, which is hardly surprising given his first name. He was particularly taken with the iconic TZ car. And he set himself an unusual task: to photograph all parts of the legendary Alfa Romeo Giulia Tubolare Zagato. The result is a complete work of detailed photographs that together can explain part of the fascination that this car exudes.
The Giulietta from Alfa Romeo was a fine lady. Especially as a spider, it impressed above all with its beautiful design, as one was accustomed to from the Milanese. Over time, however, there was criticism of its performance. It was time to grow up and so the Giulietta became a Giulia. In 1963, the open Giulia with 1600 engine was extensively tested, this report reproduces the original wording and shows the car in historical pictures.
The Giulia from Alfa Romeo drove straight into the hearts of sporty drivers who did not want to do without four doors and five seats. It was above all the engine with two overhead camshafts that made the hearts of sports cars beat faster. But the driving characteristics also corresponded to those of a veritable sports car. In addition to many "pros", there were also "cons", as the racy southerner also had some shortcomings. This test report from back then takes an in-depth look at the Giulia TI and uses historical images and sales material.
The elegant coupé that Bertone presented in Turin in 1957 only had an engine capacity of 1.3 liters, but it was capable of a top speed of over 200 km/h. Impressive. A racing career was on the cards, but things turned out differently. With almost 2800 units produced, the Granturismo coupé was certainly a commercial success and it is still popular today and much admired for its unusual design. This report portrays a 1.6-liter Giulia from 1964 and shows it in many current and historical pictures, which also impressively illustrate its predecessors.
In the fall of 1964, coachbuilder Bertone presented the Alfa Romeo Canguro, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, to the public at the Paris Motor Show. It was an ultra-flat Gran Turismo sports car that was intended for series production, but never actually went into production. Alas! This report tells the story of the elegant and streamlined Giulia-TZ derivative, illustrated with many historical pictures.
Over 25 years have passed between the Alfa Romeo Giulia Tubolare Zagato and the Alfa Romeo SZ (ES 30). Although both come from the same manufacturer and the same coachbuilder, they are completely different despite all the similarities. A comparison drive should show where the biggest differences come from ...
Just over 500 Alfa Romeo Giulia TI Super were built between 1963 and 1964; they were sports cars in a saloon suit, suitable for family outings and racing on the track. The journalists of the time were eager to test drive the Porsche terror. J. Willek did this for the magazine 'hobby' and was enthusiastic, even if he did find a few points to criticize. This article reproduces the original wording and shows the Alfa Romeo Giulia TI Super in many historic pictures. Even the technical data sheet is available.
A car perfect for the regulars' table? At least, that's what the speedometer of the Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300, the economy model for export, which sometimes indicates 200 km/h, would have you believe. But there is more to the affordable Giulia, as its temperament and driving safety are on a par with the best. Only the workmanship could be better. At least that's what the testers of the magazine 'hobby' found during road tests in 1964. This article reproduces the original wording of the test report at the time and supplements it with many historical photos of the Giulia as well as an original brochure.
In the early sixties, the Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ was one of the cars that had to be beaten in its class. This changed when the competition, e.g. Porsche 904, Ferrari Dino 166 with mid-engine and lightweight construction, launched a counter-attack. Autodelta followed suit and improved the TZ with more power and a significantly flatter plastic body; the TZ 2 was born. This report describes the history of the Alfa Romeo TZ 2 and shows it in current and historical pictures.
Mario Andretti is an Italian-American, just like the rare Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale by Zagato. Although the American ten-cylinder engine in the Italian tailor-made suit is not a one-off, only nine of them were built. Now one of them is going under the hammer at an RM/Sotheby's auction...
